Much-loved Finnieston restaurant Six by Nico has revealed its latest menu, 'Sicily', in a nod to Chef Nico Simeone's Italian roots.
With a different menu every six weeks, the 'Sicily' menu will be a warm Autumnal option for Glasgow's foodies.
From Monday 7th September, the six-course tasting menu aims to encapsulates the tastes, shapes, scents and colours of Sicilian cuisine, running until Sunday 18th October.
Taking inspiration from his Italian heritage, Chef Nico has created a range of Italian inspired dishes including Arancini, Aubergine Caponata, Hazelnut Ragu, Italian Seabass and Porchetta among others.
The menu is also reminiscent of Nico's trip to Sicily in 2018, when the theme was first introduced at both Glasgow and Edinburgh restaurants.
It was here that he and the team spent time exploring the town of Palermo, bringing home flavours from some the most richly textured culinary heritage anywhere on earth.
Sweets will also include Nico's take on a Sicilian Lemon Tart.
Chef Nico Simeone said: “In 2018 our team spent time on the Italian Island soaking up the scenery and tasting some of the best food in Europe.
"Raisins and saffron crop up in the island’s most famous dishes, and cooking techniques differ from those found on the mainland.
"As we re-visit this theme in 2020 with a brand new 'Sicily' menu for customers old and new, we look forward to showcasing these inspirations with a flavour-filled menu.
He continued is world-famous but many will be very surprised by just how varied and diverse Sicily’s cuisine is - it’s a veritable melting pot of flavour.
"Whilst much of it is clearly Italian, there are some commonly used ingredients that clearly stand out and this is what our guests at Six by Nico will discover on our new menu.”
Six by Nico creates a new menu every six weeks, with recent editions including: ‘The Chippie’, ‘Thai Street Food’, ‘New York’, ‘The Mad Hatters Tea Party’ and ‘Best of 2019’.
